New build

[x88x]

Everything looks good. Are you thinking of doing something interesting with all those PCI3 x16 slots?

The mobo I was getting went out of stock... I guess I will need to wait about a week to buy anything.

No I don't have any Ideas. I already will use 2 of them for my 3 monitor setup.

You have any?

[x88x]

mwahaha, methinks a couple of these are in order:

or these of you are of the nVidia persuasion:

Also, about 12-14 of these:

or if you want to take a storage approach instead, how about a couple of these:

..oh crap, you didn't mention an unlimited budget, did you... dang it, nobody ever lets me fill my money-swimming-pool

hmm, not a whole lot of ideas then. Honestly, the above suggestions are pretty close to my real thoughts; either lots of monitors or lots of data...or both

[Chewy_Solo]

I wish I could afford that. Im assuming my GTX 285 will still be fine for a while even after the 5870 release.

[x88x]

Nope, as soon as the 5870 is released, all other graphics cards in the world will turn to dust, requiring you to buy a 5870

[Chewy_Solo]

but it already out.

/checks case
...damn...somebody lied to me

Oh well, at least I still have a video card

[Chewy_Solo]

Alright I think im going to order everything real soon here. Im thinking though, should I possibly get a sound card?

[x88x]

It depends. How good is your ear? Some people don't notice the difference, others do. Personally, I was completely blown away by how much of a difference my Asus Xonar DX made. The sound is much clearer and cleaner, even with my cheap speakers.

I used to have a sound card for my Razer Barracuda HP-1 headset (the AC-1) but unfortunately the stupid adapter had a short in it so I couldn't use any normal audio devices with it so I have been using onboard. I have noticed that its harder to hear where people are and such like it was with my old card. I wasn't to happy with the Razer one. So I would like one I suppose.
